The organizer of the tournament is the Disc golf club Lagoda, while the executive organization is entrusted to the company Lagoda Disc Golf, and support for the event production is by the tourist agency Vall Tours.
To date, these three partners have organized over 90 international disc golf tournaments in which more than 1,000 players from more than 35 countries participated. In addition to international tournaments, we also organized six Croatian championships in disc golf. The first international disc golf tournament in Croatia "Drava Forester" was held in November 2012 with the participation of 28 players from Croatia, Austria, Slovenia and Norway. The very next year, the tournament was held under the license of the PDGA, and the number of participants almost doubled. Players from Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark and Iceland were just some of the 50 participants from a total of 12 countries. For the tournament, a temporary course is designed and set up next to the Varaždin sports hall "Arena", which encompassed the embankment of the Drava River and the nearby park forest. In past years, some of the best players in the world have participated in the tournament, such as Simon Lizotte, Phil Brathwaite and Jon Baldwin.
